You're conceited! 

Conceited?
Not me, 
It's just that I am what I am
And I'm me! 
When I look at myself
And I see in myself
All the wonderful things that I see
If I'm pleased with myself
I have ev'ry good reason to be.

I've gotta crow! 
I'm just the cleverest fellow
'Twas ever my fortune to know; 
I taught a trick to my shadow
To stick to the tip of my toe
I've gotta crow! 

I've gotta brag! 
I think it's sweet
I have fingers and feet I can wiggle and wag.
I can climb trees and play tag with the breeze
In the meadows below
I've gotta crow! 

If I were a very ordinary
Every day thing, 
I'd never be heard cock-a-doodling
'Round like a bird! 

So Naturally
When I discover the cleverness of a remarkable me, 
How can I hide it
When deep down inside it just tickles me so
That I've gotta let go and crow! 

I'm really a rare thing, 
Such a fair thing, 
I can't keep still! 
I'm bursting with pride
And I just couldn't keep it inside
If I tried so

Naturally
When I discover the cleverness of a remarkable me, 
How can I hide it
When deep down inside it just tickles me so
That I've gotta let go and crow!
